My ongoing musings about bicycling.
If you'd like to know how I got started read my first post in the December 2006 Archives.

Still Riding

But not really writing much. Just wanted to reassure those of you out there that despite the frigid weather I'm still riding almost daily. Rode Sunday and today. Over 20 degrees is no problem. I probably could have managed yesterday's single digits as well, but didn't push myself. I haven't felt much like writing, though. I'll keep in touch.

About Me

I write two blogs, Bicycle-Musings and Pipe Pulpit.

What"s A Ludwig?

In the news section of one of his early Fredcasts David told the story of one Ludwig from Znnin Poland who at 84 years of age went out for a ride on his bike. To make a longer story short (and you really should listen to the podcast to get all the details) Ludwig ended up in London, England! So I figure if (again, according to the explanation on The Fredcast #1) a Fred is someone who not only rides a bike but is severely attracted to the gadgets and accessories of a certain bike-cultural look (and I guess I'm a Fred without the financial resources to really express my Fredness) then a Ludwig could be anyone over the age of 55 who is not only a Fred, but also loves to just keep riding eating up the miles pretty much unconcerned with speed. Go Ludwig! I'm a Ludwig. Maybe someday I'll figure out podcasting and do a Ludwigcast.
